Abstract: | Hydration and strength behavior of supersulfated cement produced by activating a granulated Indian blastfurnace slag by plaster of Paris has been investigated. It is shown that plaster of Paris is a better activator than the conventional hard burnt gypsum (anhydrite) at least for a class of blastfurnace slags which are ordinarily considered less than ideal for this purpose. The setting characteristics of the plaster of Paris activated slag were controlled by small additions of a set retarder which does not adversely affect the strength properties of the cement. X-ray analysis and DTA have been used to identify the hydration products, interpret the strength data, and to compare the plaster of Paris activated cement with anhydrite activated slag cement. |
